ok well my car has also been dented from a run in with a guardrail for about 2 years now. if you need a whole front end, just go to junkyards and look for non wrecked front ends, they are available. do it like that don't get z3 fenders, those things are ugly and they make your car nasty looking. just save and do it right and you will be thankful. oh and if you pay 250 a month then you need another plan, i payd 203 every 4 months for full coverage and up to 100k for whoever i hit. i would suggest someone else. and get full coverage.

Yeah- your car doesnt look bad @ all... .... as for parts.. just get soem used parts off www.thepartstrader.com (they have alot of NEW & USED parts!!) i check this site daily for new stuff for my car... im sure u can get new/used parts cheaper there... - but like i siad your car doesnt look bad @ all... I've done far worse to my past cars- & still drove it... -- okay & if u get new stuff Y do u have to paint it right away...

I got in a wreck on Oct 31 (creepy eh?).. some stupid lady changed halfway into my lane (already only going 25mph in a 40) and she said "i saw that you were moving faster than me so i hit my breaks".. bia bia!!! well, i hit her going aobut 30 mph faster than her.. my hood, bumper, fender headlights were totalled. 3k worth of parts and labor later.. things still aren't 100% (although i have made the bst of it.) Check for damage behind the headlight and to see if any of that crap got bent up. right behind the headlight there are a lot of little pieces of metal that hold that crap together.. if none of that got bent up (doesn't look like it did from the picture). shouldn't be too bad to fix. go ahead and snag a CF hood.. save money in the end by not painting it. I'd suggest staying away from aftermarket fenders if possible because they are a huge pain in the butt to fit (and therefore cost more money to have installed unless you're fixing it yourself. If you lived in the DFW area i know someone who'd fix you up cheap.. g'luck getting fixed bud.. and remember, this will pass and life will be good

how old are you and what insurance company are you with?

[j.fuggi]

Whats done is done. Now comes to the part of what you are going to do to fix it. If you gotta work for 3 months, then that's what you gotta do. Suck it up and move on. No point in losing sleep over something you cant change

[j.fuggi]

trinity, i cant understand how its so cheap...

civicex95 - i am kinda better now that i'm over it. it looks real bad, but i realize its fixable and driveable and during the snowing months i'm gonna save to fix it.

i need an opinion on z3 fenders. i still think they're pretty neat

i also need to know how can i get the metal piece that you mount headlights on?

[Whtehnda93DXSdn]

Damn sorry to see the damage to your ride..It will be ok and fixed before you know it....

Look online at some of the parts sources to find the pieces that you need to fix your ride and save you a little more $...

When i got in my wreck and busted my fender i went with soem fiberglass z3 fenders. I must admit that they do look very nice, however i would also like to bring a couple of downsides to your attention...
z3 fenders are aftermarket parts. They rarely fit nice w/o some changes.. most of the time people charge extra to install them, and if you are installing them they are pretty unforgiving if you mess up.
Also you must be sure the lines of the car line up nice.. i've seen some z3 fenders look like crap because the lines of the car were aobut .5" off.. makes a -huge- diff to how the car looks, imo. Also my fender was a little wider at the bottom than factory which made fitting aftermarket sideskirts a less than pleasureable task.
If you don't mind those little potenital problems, z3 fenders are d0pe

Ahhh... It hurts to see beat up civics
Get the engine checked by a mechanic ...damage aint permanent...at most costly (for a part time worker)
Drive it around and show off your battlescars...people will think ur a crazy driver and be intimidated...until you save up money for a fix

Good Luck!

so far i ordered my new headlights and euro clear corners w/bulbs, and my top secret front bumper. i might be able to get a used honda hood for $50 so i'll do that instead of c/f for now because i need $400 tires for the rims i just got. fenders.. i think i'm gonna go with stock fenders. honda wants over $100 for a fender so it looks like i'll head to the junkyard.

now i just need to find a REPUTABLE bodyshop that i can trust in leaving my car for fixing. i have to order some internal parts too. i think that beam that the headlight mounts to and some other things like, the thing the corner mounts to also.

Sounds like it's all working out. That's good to hear man.

And happy birthday!
